  2. The 9th book, likkutei Yirah, is now available for download.
  3. For anyone interested in Kabbalah, Yirah has released his fifth book for free. Sefer Yirah 5 - The Book of Ascension (mediafire.com)
  4. Is the ming men at or below the belly button?

    While not specifically about mingmen, this talk is helpful in describing the opening of points. There are valid differences in the process of precision location used for the purpose of needling, versus connecting it up from within.
  5. I was always fascinated by the way text behaved in dreams. I found out that instead of fruitlessly trying to focus my eyes on the symbols, i could just sort of ask the paper what it was trying to tell me
  6. except that Yae had been a member since 2013, had already taken the instructor-led lineage route, yet still was striving for something greater. as @Taoist Texts pointed out, sealing the leaks includes not only bodily processes, but moreso the field of awareness. Maybe getting banned was meant to be, as part of the process of removing attachments 🤔
  7. Elaborating the golden pill, my progress and doubts

    if your not in a position to enroll in an established lineage you can request visitation by ascended master. if all you are meeting is ghosts just keep purifying to attract attention from higher up. can do purely xing e.g. constantly reciting scripture and doing authentically good deeds. or refining ming like standing in horse stance for six hours a day. find a balance that works for you. something might be worth a try, if it looks good to you, sit in with the free xiao yao pai sessions, if there still on, and see if anything comes through.. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/55100-free-healing-activation-for-neidan-xiao-yao-pai
  8. Moon Tide analogy to Qi

    I remember listening to a Scholar Sage Podcast a few years ago where DM talked about practicing near a body of water, that it's not good for when you need to build up and store qi, as some of whatever you generate is going to get absorbed right into all that water.

    don’t eat damn pears, dear or the chain might diverge, but the green tea is good 😎🍵🫖 the green tea is good sipped as chipped links are rejoined by kintsugi gold
  10. yeah! I notice a lot of times (肝 gān) is used like "guts" even today. To have a gut feeling, or make a gutsy move. Guts are organs, like livers, but we know what it's talking about a little different. btw you dont have to wait until after-death to use them, that is an urban myth. in the Light body frame of reference, most stages are overlapping to certain extents
  11. Off-topic Doing qigong, I was in my best health. I never knew I could be so healthy, everything was in balance, in a snap the pain I never knew disappeared, it was like all the irregularities in my physical body just vanished. Maybe some people haven't experienced a healthier aspect or it takes time or nothing happens, maybe it was not for them, does not mean qigong is a placebo. Most qigong is going to be the perfect surrogate for climbing trees. Humans' bodies function great when maneuvering around in branches to get the fruit, nuts, and eggs. Also living in caves or underwater are good, too. The gym style exercises of today don't offer the same level of twists and stretches in all directions. Unless maybe a jungle gym. Can you meet the challenge of climbing trees? There was a time when every kid on the block could do it. Doesn't matter how out of shape you are just start at the bottom and try again every day you will make it one centimeter at a time. This might just sound like a novel take on the standard "qigong make you healthy, which usually also feels happy," but there is something deeper if you ask me. In the larger-frame spiritual life cycle, the Earth body is a stage comparable to a larva. It develops tensegrity in order to properly interact on an energetic level. The more it can do this, the better "wings" will work in the next stage.
  12. anatomical basis for meridians, is it fascia network?

    I wonder if the iron inside of hemoglobin orients to the biomagnetic field. The iron ion is what enables red blood cells to transport oxygen. Fascia and other tissues receiving oxygen from them, would be most energized along the meridians. iron filings organized into meridian-like structure within magnetic field. SQUID magnetometry has measured heart field extending several feet from the body Alex Gray worked in a med-school morgue prior to developing the Sacred Mirrors
  13. How does it work?

    in the meantime here is a wealth of material from them 🤗
  14. Haiku Unchained

    A thread for poems Original or quoted Compose or discuss Five, seven, then five. A form we know very well. Cast off this constraint. For those times when, Expression is more important, Feel free to bend rules.
  15. How does it work?

    i’ve been told by both a cranky taiwanese grandma and an ascended jewish doctor that not a lot can be done with alchemy until one achieves yang within yin, that is to say, remaining conscious while the body is asleep. sometimes called trance, it’s a different thing to lucid dreaming. those energy flows perceived as various vibratory sensations, when the five normal senses are mostly offline, take on a new coherence.

  17. Haiku Unchained

    cinco palabras silencio es de oro ¡ciertamente! In the spirit of this thread, syllabic rules now put to bed, and speaking on in verse, much more wordy but still terse, I will try to keep in time, and maintain a simple rhyme, to illuminate a subject, that as long as no bums object, will indulge a mystery, that of course is plain to see.

    Yay one thousand posts! Oops now a thousand and one. Should have been quiet...

    dear Bing: "can you show the picture of saints and xian hanging out together again, but make their eyes look better and some of them are grumpy" Haha what! yeh this thing can be very hit-or-miss. Maybe went for less photorealism this time to cover up for the phony factor. Uh oh some of them are off the wagon now. Bro on the left rocking a third arm

    What bunch a bums! This picture was generated as part of a Bing AI session comparing saints to xian. It totally looks to me like how some TDB threads can feel when grumpiness abates. When I zoom in there's something slightly creepy about the eyes though. That's a common artifact of certain image processing style. I will think of it as saying everyone might be little bit blind anyway, but there are better things to focus on.
  21. could someone translate this for me?

    Zǐ qì dōng lái. Wùxū chūn, Wángyuèmíng shì, HéYuánJùn xiě 紫氣東來 戊戌 春 王月明市 何元俊 寫 常氣東朱 我首 㤗 王月明市 仍尢俊 字 Wow I scored a 47% 😅 that's about what i was expecting. It was a good exercise though and honing in on it over time. "Purple Air Comes from the East, written by He Yuanjun of Yueming City in the Spring of 1898"
  22. could someone translate this for me?

    常氣東朱 我首㤗王月明市仍尢俊字 常 eternal 氣 qi 東 east 朱 vermilion 我 my 首 leader 㤗 exalted 王 king 月 moon 明 lit 市 city 仍 still 尢 special 俊 handsome 字 sage Fair amount of guesswork here! Sort of gets an idea though. Some of those characters are just to small to make out. What do you think @ChiDragon how bad did i butcher it?
  23. could someone translate this for me?

    The first part looks like it says 常氣東朱 Changqi Dongzhu, maybe the artists name? Something not quite matching up though; there's an artistic liberty in the way those characters mix up. I'm just scratching them into qhanzi.com and making best guesses. I'll take a crack at squinting the smaller part soon Oh yea that looks like the style of Zhongli Quan's famous fan.
  24. That's actually kinda neat. Would you be willing to share what method is used to create such a file? I was going to ask you if it was intentionally silence or if there was a bug or something but you already answered that. I tried to play it once this morning and again just now and both times I could've sworn i started smell something burning LOL like an electrical fire. I imported the mp3 into Audacity and sure enough there's not even line noise, just zeroes for the whole hour+. I don't have super beefy antivirus stuff but some basic scans didn't turn up anything so that's good in case anyone else wondering. Don't know how to scan for talismanic codes though I guess it doesn't matter as long as you promise its not something sneaky. BTW i didn't play the whole thing just few seconds at a time.

    If you like that, check out the artist: https://geyashvecova.tumblr.com/ lots of nice stuff! The meditating Meghan was inspired by what Mark had said about gravity and awareness and tendons, as I'd found the subtle swaying motion to be unusually well animated (credit Kasia Granica) and even seem to go with the reggae rhythm. Might have to zoom in but even the mouse is breathing in sync
